About this event
Two hundred years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh artworks, the National Gallery, London is hosting the United Kingdom’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist.
